[ As part of her job for the Radio Show "Opinion Noted", Haen is determined to live up to the assigned title of Shock Jock for them. Thus, imPorts can tune in to her weekly segment and listen to her serve up some sass about whatever's going down in the imPort community. Most of her focus are on things that come up in the Majority Reports, but Haen will happily take topics suggested by other imPorts, especially if they're contentious in nature! ]

Hello my dears, welcome to a fresh new edition of Opinions Noted! For those of you who haven't tuned in before, my name is Haen Hithiel and I'll be your host on this fun little trip.

For those of you who like to play in the scrolling ticker sandbox, I do hope you haven't tied any StarkTech stocks to your ankles if you happen to live near water, because it looks like it will be dragging you down, down, down! I mean, what can you really expect from a creator who's all glitz and chrome without a solid framework? I hear that same sort of 'quick flash in the pan' problem tends to plague a certain founder's personal stamina as well, if you know what I mean~

Speaking of those clinging a little too comfortably with the technological side of things, it seems a certain physician needs a mechanical type of stimulation, judging by the cipher play-by-play that's been happening lately. I'm sensing a lucrative opportunity in specialized automatons for those who just can't get their satisfaction elsewhere. Don't worry dear, I'm only judging a little.

I have to say, this heat wave's been good for the beach, but not so great for the beach bodies lately. I know you're all on vacation, but there's no reason to let yourself go. Coming up after the commercial break, I've got a steamy list of the best and worst imPorts this month who've been spotted baring all... or simply being publicly unbearable!

Phone lines are open, don't be shy!

Euch, that's the line you're going to go for? Really? I've heard that from about a billion supervillains before, and guess what? They all wind up getting their teeth bashed in by some musclehead with the approximate IQ of a peanut.

Skip the whole visionary thing and own up to why your company is... what was it, a quick flash in the pan?

I don't know if calling the most prolific, wealthy, and long-lasting import company a "flash in the pan" is really all that accurate.

Maybe you should take it up with our host.

In case you missed it, that's what I was doing before you so rudely interrupted our conversation! Besides, a prolific imPort company -- that's gotta be what, three years? Four? Big deal.

Seven. Across two different worlds.

Yes, but this is the one that's failing.

[LET HIM HAVE THIS]

One release means the doom of the company?

I must be pretty poor off to not absorb those damages.

Oh, please, we both know business. All it takes is a little loss of faith from the public to doom an affair or two. I've seen it happen over and over again.

Depending, of course, on who it is that's running damage control. I look forward to seeing how you manage it.

If you're not very good at rolling with the punches, sure.

Do you know how many times I've come back from zero to the billions? It's old hat at this point.

Well, you sure sound like a stable employer.

If I wasn't, people wouldn't come back.

Oh, please. People will come back to any job, if it means a paycheck.

I don't know, not in the tech industry.

Not unless they feel the owner isn't at fault, or actually has the right idea about things.

That's taking an awfully optimistic view about any industry. I'd bet you a pretty penny that people will come for a paycheck, regardless of the industry. Sometimes, people can't afford to be choosy.

Supergeniuses?

I've never met one that didn't have a load of job offers in their pocket at any given time.

And you only hire supergeniuses.

Well, maybe a few geniuses to round things out. Even the secretarial pool is filled with the best in the business.

Ooh, you can hire people who can type over one-hundred words per minute. I'm so impressed.

[ His voice is sharp, now. ]

Have you ever had an excellent secretary? Because I'm guessing not.

[He laughs.] What, are you part of the secretary's union? Because someone is sounding a teensy bit overdefensive.

Unless you're just screwing her.

[In which case, you know, carry on.]

Not screwing, exactly.

[ years of unresolved sexual tension tho... ]

I did build her a suit of power armor though.

...so wanting to screw, then.

[ in regards to the above: ]

Good guanines, but he's so awfully defensive about his perceived worth, isn't he? Makes you think he might be over-compensating for something~
